Avoid specific unit

Have been thinking about the uses of AllowWeaponTarget in gadgets, but all the more powerful usages (overkill control) also require the ability to know which unit a particular shot is going for (which I still haven't figured how to detect)

Nevertheless, it would be logically simple (not UI simple though) to implement a global "ignore this unit" command. Allowweapontarget simply returns false for that player's units regarding the target, except when the player's units have a direct attack command.


Basically, my question is: Would the ability to make your units ignore a specific enemy unit except when directly ordered be useful?

Autoskirm/autoswarm/fight can be adjusted relatively easily to accommodate this as well.

You discover the target with shot in the LUS.

"You discover the target with shot in the LUS. "

Oops, that should be "You discover the target with BlockShot in the LUS. "

We're unlikely to allow much more put in AllowWeaponTarget.

Is this that resource intensive then?

Darn, all the nice things... =(

or... it could be a widget that periodically check if unit is shoting at certain unit?

ability to ignore class of units can be very powerful sometimes (like ordering to ignore razorkisses/solars to your puppies or felons when overruning enemy defenses, etc) could save a lot of micro in many situations. I still pine for proper automatic overkill management (and splash weapon targeting that includes splash efect on nearby units n target choice logic)
